Loan Application Checklist
Are you prepared to apply?
Review the current state of your debt: credit cards, auto loans, student loans and personal loans. Your credit score can be a key indicator of your readiness for home ownership.
Before you meet with a Home Loan Expert, collect your most recent monthly statements for your checking and savings accounts, as well as statements for any other financial holdings or investments.
Have you saved for a down payment?
Your home loan will require a down payment that acts as a deposit. The down payment gives you immediate equity in the home and indicates your financial stability. Our home loans have a wide range of down payment options. The amount of your down payment will affect the interest rate, closing costs and monthly payment. Proof of deposit with a current checking, savings, retirement, or investment account will assist with your loan application.
Have you calculated what your monthly mortgage should be?
As a starting point, you can figure a monthly payment that is about 25% of your take-home pay, which should include taxes and insurance. The costs associated with home ownership go beyond just your principal and interest. Additional expenses may include property taxes, insurance, homeowner’s association fees, and utilities, such as electricity, gas and water. These charges can add hundreds to your monthly budget and should be factored in.
